August 16, 2001 - When you play games for a living you tend to pick only the top tier titles to play in your spare time. Soldier of Fortune is definitely on the list. No doubt you've already got either the basic or Gold editions.

May 7, 2001 - Activision is letting loose with a few new peeks at Soldier of Fortune 2, and we're letting you in on the scoop, too.
Once again, the game is being developed by the fine, fine folks at Raven Software. The story this time? A new terrorist organization has developed a deadly virus, and is threatening to use it on innocent folks unless terms are met. The military and governments of the world may have plans, but you've been paid to get results. It's up to you and your team to save the world from the disasters the terrorists plan to inflict

April 17, 2001 - There was a whole lot of controversy surrounding Soldier of Fortune when it was released to stores. It took the level of realism in video game violence to a whole new level inspiring proposals to ban the title in many areas and was even shoved to the adult section in British Columbia. While the game was ultra-violent, it also was really well put together and a top notch shooter even without all of the blood and gore. All of that publicity, both negative and positive, seems to have resulted in sales good enough to warrant a sequel. That's right kiddies, avert your eyes when we tell you this, but Activision announced Soldier of Fortune 2 today.

January 26, 2001 - Well it looks as though all of that cold may have finally frozen those crazy Canadian's brains solid. The poor bastards in British Columbia just can't seem to decide what they want in their video games. First the say, "Eh, I don't like that violent stuff. It's for hosers." This prompts the ban of the ultraviolent Soldier of Fortune from retail stores as it is "adult" material.

October 3, 2000 - Soldier of Fortune quickly became one of the most controversial games of the year when people realized exactly how gorey the game really was. The amount of violence and realistic wounding really threw some people for a loop and it the fact that the game really had quality level design and gameplay was quickly shoved aside in favor of having something new to be outraged with. Through all of this, the game did manage to sell quite a few copies, some of which were probably sold based on the bad publicity. Anyway, the game sold enough to warrant a gold edition of the game that adds a few new features. While these screens don't show the gore that made the game famous, they do show some of the multiplayer action that you can expect from the Gold Edition.

April 3, 2000 - There's no doubt that Sodier of Fortune is the most horrific, bloodiest, and goriest games I've ever played, and although I'm not into perverse ultra-violence, this game really is a lot of fun. However, Soldier of Fortune is NOT for the kids.
